Chapter 1148: Chapter 563: Academic Report Watched by Hundreds of Millions of People!_1

Money is very important.

The prerequisite for publicizing the basic theory of anti-gravity technology is the ability to purchase high-tech products and materials needed.

At the same time, the research and development of anti-gravity technology also consumes a considerable amount of funding, which must be recouped.

The research and development funds for anti-gravity technology are not high because it doesn’t involve large experiments. The primary material needed is mostly high-energy light beams, and two weeks are enough for experimental preparation. Coupled with about a year of development time, the investment in research funding is not significant.

However, knowledge is also money.

Zhao Yi considers his knowledge priceless, and entities like the Aviation Group and the military agree that the research funding must be multiplied and earned back.

By how many times?

At the anti-gravity technology conference, the representatives opened the discussion at one hundred billion dollars.

Just by hearing the figure, one knows it’s not possible; national-level scientific research funding in annual reports often reaches hundreds of billions of dollars.

In reality, it’s not so.

In the past two years, the publicly disclosed scientific research funding in China is roughly around two hundred billion dollars, with corporate research and development funds accounting for about eighty percent.

In other words, the research and development funds directly allocated by higher authorities are roughly around forty billion dollars, with the biggest expenses being incurred by the Science Academy, Technology Office, and the Nature Foundation. Together, these three account for more than fifty percent.

That leaves only two hundred billion dollars.

This sum has to be allocated to over sixty direct-reporting scientific research departments and some must be set aside for special research expenditures.

Of course.

Part of the funding for anti-gravity research may have come from the Aviation Group, but one hundred billion dollars is an absolutely impossible figure. Most participants in the meeting estimated that if there were ten billion dollars, it would already be astonishing.

In fact, that is the case.

Some significant research investments require repeated deliberation, such as building the largest particle collider, which is still in the "evaluation phase" due to the massive amount of funding required. To reserve such extensive funds inevitably means reducing investments in other areas of scientific research, as the cost is so vast it could even impact the overall economy.

Even the particle collider project totals a budget of less than ten billion dollars.

One hundred billion dollars?

Such a massive mobilization of funds would surely cause some disturbances, meaning there would be some news spreading. They couldn’t possibly have learned about the anti-gravity technology only after seeing a "photo of a mysterious device."

Of course.

The delegates’ questioning during the meeting is meaningless, as the public disclosure of anti-gravity technology is already the last resort. Earning back the research funding is a matter of course. It’s not feasible to invest a substantial amount of funds and then share the results freely with the world.

That’s not greatness, that’s insanity.

The Aviation Group is now preparing to exploit the public disclosure of anti-gravity technology to create a wave of technological monopoly revenues. They will provide the basic anti-gravity technology and tag it with "patent licensing."

This news is indeed very attractive, especially to large enterprises in need.

However, the first one to come with sincerity to inquire was not a real scientific research enterprise, but the well-known Mickey Mouse Company. They mainly generate revenue by setting up Mickey Mouse Parks and selling cartoon products they have on hand.

It’s obvious why the Mickey Mouse Company would inquire about anti-gravity technology once you think seriously about it. They definitely want to rely on anti-gravity technology to build an "anti-gravity" experience hall.

It’s indeed a great idea.

The Aviation Group didn’t respond immediately but indicated there would be announcements later. They will invite large enterprises in need to visit the anti-gravity device and strive to finalize some cooperative agreements in the anti-gravity field.

The follow-up referred to the conclusion of the anti-gravity report conference. freewebnσvel.cѳm

The anti-gravity technology report conference that Yanhua University Mathematics Center is preparing to conduct is nominally organized by the Aviation Group, but the main participants and the person in charge are still Zhao Yi himself.

The basic theory of Photon Anti-gravity Technology is still very complicated. Even for top mathematicians and physicists, fully understanding the principles based on the published reports is a challenge.

Its complexity can be compared to Wiles’s proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem.

After Wiles did his proof report, few people completely understood the published paper; in fact, it’s said that no one could completely understand it.

Of course. freēwēbnovel.com

Perhaps it’s also because the proof process itself wasn’t attractive enough. Top mathematicians didn’t want to spend so much time studying the complex proof process itself, as that would have been a complete waste of time.

The difficulty of the basic theory of Photon Anti-gravity Technology is roughly twice as high as that of Wiles’s paper, yet many mathematicians and physicists took it seriously and delved into the study.

This is a matter of attraction.

Anti-gravity technology is an entirely different concept, almost like opening a new Chapter of science. Any top mathematician or physicist would not miss the opportunity to understand its principles. However, to fully comprehend everything would require too much time, especially when studying papers that skip a lot of processes and only give a simple overview.

Even with the relevant background, Edward Witten, one of the most preeminent mathematicians, found it incredibly challenging. After spending two weeks, there were still some minor details he didn’t quite grasp.

Let alone other people.

Therefore, the Photon Anti-gravity Technology report conference is not to be missed. Many mathematicians and physicists are using various means to get tickets, but only truly esteemed scholars are granted admission.
